Default EF8 vs EF9 - what fits, what doesn't?

Alright ... I have a CRX SiR(EF8).
Only problem is, is that it was in a front end collision.

I have the crx version (EF8) of the headlights, hood, turn signals fenders, etc.) but I need the rad support, radiator, fans, etc.

There's a guy locally selling the civic SiR front clip (EF9) which includes all the parts I'm missing.

What I need to know is how much of it is transferable? Is the rad support Identical as it is in the non SiR version? Does the rad fit? Rebar? Bumper filler?


I'm looking for someone that has tested this .. or held the two up side by side... because I can't return it, and I don't want to spend money on a front clip I can't use.


Thanks in advance.

if the parts are coming from a EF9, then the hood, headlights, and radiator support should fit. the bumper, corners lights, fenders, bumper, filler, and bumper reinforcement shouldn't fit. i guess it would fit if you did the whole entire ef9 front end together. but thats super ghey.

maybe he thought ithe thread was so interesting, that he'd bump it for me.

... or .... there's the option of posting useless **** because he has nothing better to do than spell check the entire internet.


............ anyone that knows what goes into these cars have any ideas? anyone used an EF9 front on a ED? anyone that runs an importing place held the two up side by side?

Sounds 100% correct to me. Radaitor should be the same as well as the fans too, if those items are coming on the EF9 front clip.
